Local knowledge
Todmorden houses & what they need
Todmorden houses are stone, and most are old enough that the first plaster on the walls was lime. Later owners have skimmed over it in gypsum, patched it with filler, and sometimes boarded straight onto the stone.
On an outside wall that catches the moorland weather, the wrong plaster fails fast. We look at what is there and what is causing any damp, then use lime where the wall needs to breathe and gypsum where it does not.
The Victorian terraces in the town have lath and plaster ceilings, which we overboard or replace depending on how far they have dropped.
Todmorden is up the valley from our Hebden Bridge base and sits comfortably within our regular patch. Same working day from site visit to quote delivery.

FAQs
Plastering in Todmorden: common questions
Our cottage has damp patches inside the gable wall. Can you plaster over them?
Not until the cause is found. On a stone gable it is usually rain getting in through failed pointing, a gutter, or cement render holding water in the wall. We do pointing as well, so it can often be one job.Is lime plaster more expensive?
It takes longer to put on and longer to dry, so there is more labour in it. On a wall that needs it, it is cheaper than re-plastering again in a few years.Do you cover Walsden, Cornholme and the villages around Todmorden?
Yes. Walsden, Cornholme, Lydgate and Eastwood are regular for us. Further over into Lancashire on larger jobs.
